CORRECTION: At 2:28 the correct text is: 'In the early 1960s, rear-engine cars began to dominate the racing world, bringing an end to the era of front-engine models.' Thanks @donwest5387 and @allareasindex7984 for notifying me!

Landed here by accident, really enjoyed this delve into to the history of Indy cars, many thanks
-
The irony of being an aricraft engineer who designed the least aerodynamic car to ever see the brickyard 🤣🤣
-
You forgot the Mickie Thompson car with the 12 inch wheels
-
Indy car history is so colorful, unlike F1 which is much more evolutionary. I vividly remember the turbine powered car in the 1960s. It was crazy but effective.
-
Fantastic video. Great photos, footage that I have never seen, and cars that I did not know about despite being a huge IndyCar fan. A+
-
And there's me thinking that the 1975 Tyrell P34 F1 car was the first one with 6 wheels... Every day is a schoolday! Excellent video - thank you.
-
A 13th place finish is a failure for one car, but a 12th place finish is the proof of success for another? Pretty dicey opinions being offered here.
-
This is a really well made video for a channel of a small size, ai voices aren’t the best to start with as it won’t get you too far, but the footage you used is great
-
VERY ENJOYABLE VID.
-
I'm just barely old enough to remember when Indy cars were experimental. It was a thrill to tune in to the race back then. And I was dismayed when uniformity of design was instituted. What a bore.
-
I was familiar with all the cars in this video with the exception of the Eagle Aircraft . . . that was new to me. In the intro of this video, I'm most appreciative of the producer to inform the viewers of the AI generated narration. Lastly, I was familiar with the race driver Paul Russo, whom drove that twin-engined car at Indy. He was a talented and brave driver, as he also had a history of racing the powerful NOVI roadster in that era, too.

Indy was known for innovation and not just in the snake pit!👍
-
1:29 That seat must’ve been hot sitting on top of those super chargers
-
"The Indianapolis Motor Speedway used to be a fertile ground for new ideas." - I fixed your opening line for you. I think carbon fiber chassis was the last innovation to come from there and that was over 40 years ago.
-
i would love to see those old cars being driven again, possibly replicas if the original isn't available for use
-
You forgot the STP PAXTON TURBOCAR. it was entered in the '67 event with PARNELLI JONES driving. It blew a transmission bearing with 8 laps to go.
-
That Clancy special looks like a flippin road grader!!
-
Liquid Suspension, BMCs trade name for that suspension was Hydrolastic, don't know why they used other name in the USA market.
-
Torn: love that this type of content is out ther and it clearly comes from a good place, but not into AI vids at all.
